What if you could make something that could moisturize your skin and soothe aching muscles at the same time? You can! Enter magnesium lotion.

What Is Magnesium?

Magnesium is one of the body’s most essential minerals – every cell in your body needs it. In fact, over 300 chemical reactions in the body make use of magnesium. The many benefits of magnesium include:

Maintaining healthy bones

Keeping energy levels balanced

Promoting healing and soothing of inflammation (among other injuries)

Helping your vitamin D absorption from the sun

Promoting circulation

Helping lower your risk of diabetes

There’s no doubt that this mineral is important, but the average American diet doesn’t give your body enough magnesium. The average adult only gets about 66 percent of their Daily Value of magnesium. Check out this article to find out some of the most common signs of magnesium deficiency.

So, how do we get enough magnesium? There’s one way to supplement your body with magnesium that you may not have thought of… and that is topically.

Topical Magnesium

Did you know you can absorb nutrients and mineral through your skin? If you’ve ever heard of nicotine patches to help people quit smoking, it’s the same idea. Applying magnesium topically is a great way to start reaping its powerful benefits.

A study by Dr. Norman Shealy of the American Holistic Medical Association had participants use magnesium flake foot soaks and applied topical magnesium oil daily. After only four weeks, researchers found that 75 percent of participants displayed significant increases in their bodies’ magnesium levels.

So instead of a store-bought moisturizer, try this natural moisturizing body butter instead. Not only does it moisturize and soothe muscles, it also acts as a more natural form of sunblock, too! Shea butter and avocado oil have a natural SPF ranging anywhere from 4 – 10.

How to Make It

Add boiling water and magnesium flakes to a container and stir to dissolve. Let it cool before continuing.

Magnesium Body Butter

Using a small pot, fill it to about a ¼ with water and bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat to a simmer and fit a pyrex bowl (or a stainless steel mixing bowl) on top to make a double-boiler. Make sure that the bowl is not reaching the water.

Add all ingredients except for the magnesium oil to the bowl and let them melt together. Remove the bowl from heat and let cool to room temperature.

Using a hand blender, blend your mixture and slowly incorporate the magnesium oil.

When well-mixed, cool in the fridge for 15 minutes. Blend again and now it’s ready!

Your magnesium body butter should keep for up to two months. For best results, store in the fridge for cooling relief.
